Nismo R-tune brake pads... period. Minimal dust, and outstanding bite/wear. I still have a good amount of pad left after a lot of hard braking. You can go a while without having brake dust show on the wheels too. My wheels are siler so brake dust shows easily, but with these pads, brake dust is minimal, and much better than standard oem.

Hawk has less brake dust than OEM, Raybestos from Kragen produces significantly less dust than Hawk but seem to eat the rotor more. I've tried both on my car. I've also tried Posi-quiet on my MB, brake dust was reduced by at least 80% compared to OEM.

these suggestions may only be good for daily street driving.

I have been using EBC Red Stuff pads with their Ultimax rotors for a couple of years with my brembos and they still don't dust. I mean right now, my car has 900 miles or more since the last wash and although the wheels don't look shiny, they still look bright silver.

I don't recommend the EBC Green Stuff though, they feel soft on this car.
